I hope that rude awakening included a warrant for his arrest on
charges of attempted homicide/assault with a deadly weapon.

I "Saved American jobs" starting in 1985 when I bought a Mazda 626
in protest over the declining quality of American Iron (and, since
Dodge was a *religion* in my family, beleive me, I heard about it!)
Tough love - Detroit *had* to hear!

When I bought the Miata, it was on faith that the quality would be
comparable to my 626, and on fact that there was nothing else
comparable that I could afford.

Now that the quality message has been heard, and is being internalized,
I returned to the fold, with a '94 Intrepid.  Sometimes it takes
courage to send a hard message.
